Mr. Butler paints impressionistic scenes by gently blending a small amount of cremation ash into the pigment. Landscapes can be favorite destinations of the loved one, or the site where ashes have been scattered. The artist works with you individually to produce a custom scene in order to create art that is as beautiful as it is meaningful, the artist asks that you send him two essential components – a photograph of the scatter site and 2 oz. of your loved one’s cremated ashes.
He captures the essence of your loved one while creating the most personal and powerful art. Please note these are an example of Michael’s work. He’ll work with you individually to create your very own Loved Ones Art.
